Jessica Dreswick is in her first season as an assistant coach with The University of Tulsa softball program, being appointed to the position in July 2023. A collegiate pitcher at Boston College, Dreswick will oversee the development of the Golden Hurricane pitching staff.

Dreswick comes to Tulsa following two years as the top assistant coach at Longwood University. The Lancers had back-to-back 30-win seasons and captured consecutive Big South regular season titles.

In her two seasons, Dreswick helped coach 15 all-conference performers for the Lancers. During the 2023 campaign, Longwood posted top-10 wins over No. 4 Florida State and No. 8 Duke. The Lancers finished the season ranked 57^th in the NCAA’s RPI, the highest ranking in school history.

Prior to her appointment as top assistant, Dreswick served seven months as a graduate assistant coach with Lancers.

Dreswick’s foray back into college softball followed an international playing career that saw her play championship-level softball on two continents following her graduation from Boston College in 2018. She pitched for clubs in Czech Republic, Italy and South Australia, won the Italian National Championship in 2019, reached the Australian National final in 2020, and coached high school-aged players during the offseason.

Dreswick developed into one of the ACC’s best pitchers and one of the top players in Boston College softball history. She was named to the All-ACC and NFCA All-Region teams in her final three seasons while setting records for wins (59), walks allowed per seven innings (2.07) and innings pitched (675.1).

Dreswick’s transformation into one of the ACC’s best included a significant increase in velocity, jumping from 63 miles per hour as a sophomore to 70 as a senior. Dreswick and her power arm carried the Eagles to a third-place ACC finish in 2017 and a second-place Atlantic Division result in 2018.

For her career, Dreswick posted a 59-38 record, a 2.64 ERA and 472 strikeouts in 675.1 innings – all among the top 10 in Boston College history. As a senior, she went 18-11 with a 2.43 ERA and won 62 percent of Boston College’s games, propelling the Eagles to a second straight 30-win season. She also set Boston College’s single-season records for wins (22) and starts (39), which she achieved during her All-ACC first-team performance as a junior.

Dreswick also etched her name in the Boston College history books by throwing the program’s first-ever perfect game as a senior and the program’s first ACC no-hitter as a sophomore. That perfect game was a five-inning gem against ACC rival Virginia that included seven strikeouts and only 57 pitches. Her no-hitter in 2016 came against another ACC rival, NC State, in a full seven-inning effort that included six strikeouts.

Dreswick also gained a wealth of coaching experience since her days as a collegian, mentoring athletes from middle through high school since 2014. Most recently, she was an assistant coach at Hunterdon Central Regional High School in Flemington, N.J., for the 2020-21 season and has also coached with the South Australia Softball Developmental program, the New Jersey Pride, and Saint Peters Middle School in Adelaide, Australia.

A native of Flemington, N.J., Dreswick graduated from Boston College with a bachelor's degree in communication in 2018. She was a member of the Student Athlete Advisory Committee (SAAC) and volunteered with numerous community service projects, including the Wounded Warrior Project and Athletes for Autism.
